Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

miconazole ranolazine

Applies to: miconazole and ranolazine

MONITOR: Coadministration with miconazole may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4 activity by miconazole, which is thought to be a relatively potent inhibitor of the isoenzyme. No formal drug interaction studies have been conducted with miconazole buccal tablets. Although systemic absorption following mucous membrane exposure is limited, the potential for interaction with drugs metabolized by CYP450 3A4 cannot be ruled out.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if miconazole must be used concurrently with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever miconazole is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Major

ranolazine food

Applies to: ranolazine

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered ranolazine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because ranolazine prolongs QT interval in a dose-dependent manner, high plasma levels of ranolazine may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsade de pointes.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ranolazine should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and other grapefruit products if possible. Otherwise, the dosage of ranolazine should be limited to 500 mg twice a day.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
